“…Major advantages of LRN over open radical nephrectomy include decreased perioperative morbidity, lower blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and quicker convalescence (2,3). Reports available in literature have showed comparable results between laparoscopic and open radical nephrectomy, with projected 5-year cancerspecific survival of 87% to 98% in the laparoscopic series, and overall survival of 81% to 94% (4-8) ( Table-1).…”

The authors report the experience of a high-volume center with laparoscopic surgery in urological oncology, as well as a review of other relevant series. Laparoscopic outcomes in the treatment of adrenal, kidney, upper tract transitional cell carcinoma, bladder, prostate, and testicular malignancy are described in this review. Specific considerations as complications and port-site recurrence are also addressed. The authors concluded that the intermediate-term oncological data is encouraging and comparable to open surgery.

“…The oncological principles of open radical nephrectomy (ORN) are duplicated with the laparoscopic approach, but with lower morbidity; therefore, the laparoscopic approach is now considered the standard of care when nephron-sparing surgery cannot be performed. 1 Herein, we present the 5-year oncological outcomes of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) compared with a contemporary series of open radical nephrectomy from a single institution.…”

PURPOSE:To report the 5-year oncological outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cancer compared to a cohort of patients undergoing open radical nephrectomy. METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the data of 88 patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma prior to January 2000. Of these, 45 patients underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, and 43 patients underwent open radical nephrectomy. Inclusion criteria comprised clinically organ-confined tumors of 15 cm or less in size without concomitant lymphadenopathy or vena cava thrombus. Oncological follow-up data were obtained from charts, radiological reports, and phone calls to patients or their families, and were calculated from the date of surgery to the date of last appointment with physician or date of death. RESULTS: All laparoscopic procedures were completed without open conversion. On comparing the laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and open radical nephrectomy groups, mean tumor size was 5.8 vs 6.2 cm (P = .44), mean blood loss was 183 vs 461 mL (P = .004), and mean operative time was 2.8 vs 3.7 hrs (P < .001). Over a mean follow-up of 5 years in the laparoscopic radical nephrectomy group and 6 years in the open radical nephrectomy group, the overall survival was 81% vs 79% (P = .47), and cancer-specific survival was 90% vs 92% (P = .70), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cancer confers equivalent 5-year oncological outcomes to those of open surgery.

“…The major advantages of laparoscopic nephrectomy over open nephrectomy include decreased perioperative morbidity, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and quicker convalescence. 2,3 While complication rates from laparoscopic procedures are comparable to those of open procedures, [4][5][6] the presentation of these complications can be quite different following laparoscopic versus open nephrectomy. Intraoperative oliguria is common during laparoscopy, but is transient and resolves after desufflation.…”

Renal Function Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Open or Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose:We compared renal function outcomes in patients undergoing open or laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Materials and Methods: Seventy-one patients undergoing open or laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for kidney disease with a normal contralateral kidney were identified between January 2004 and December 2007. Renal function was calculated by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. Serial renal functions were checked from the day before surgery to 1 year after surgery. Exclusion criteria were preexisting renal insufficiency, urinary stone disease, and pancreatic and liver disorders.
